LambdaAction

When included in a receipt rule, this action calls an AWS Lambda function and,
optionally, publishes a notification to Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon
SNS).

To enable Amazon SES to call your AWS Lambda function or to publish to an Amazon SNS
topic of
another account, Amazon SES must have permission to access those resources. For information
about giving permissions, see the Amazon SES Developer
Guide.

Contents

FunctionArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Lambda function. An example of an AWS
Lambda function ARN is
arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:account-id:function:MyFunction. For more
information about AWS Lambda, see the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.

Type: String

Required: Yes

InvocationType

The invocation type of the AWS Lambda function. An invocation type of
RequestResponse means that the execution of the function will
immediately result in a response, and a value of Event means that the
function will be invoked asynchronously. The default value is Event. For
information about AWS Lambda invocation types, see the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.

Important

There is a 30-second timeout on RequestResponse invocations. You
should use Event invocation in most cases. Use
RequestResponse only when you want to make a mail flow decision,
such as whether to stop the receipt rule or the receipt rule set.

Type: String

Valid Values: Event | RequestResponse

Required: No

TopicArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon SNS topic to notify when the Lambda action
is taken. An example of an Amazon SNS topic ARN is
arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:MyTopic. For more information about
Amazon SNS topics, see the Amazon SNS Developer Guide.
